"The end is where you start from. It took the ending of the most miserable relationship I have ever been in to kick me into a new gear. I became really involved on myself and what it truly meant to know me and love me. I had to dig deep, unearth, and unfold a lot. But being the creator of my own reality was my guide. Being the controller of changing my own patterns was my drive. I found my path of least resistance and every day, I’m getting better and better at staying on my path only. I knew...
Each week, our Friday Feature celebrates powerful women from our tribe who share their magic with the world in unique and inspiring ways. This week, we chatted with Leah Kirsch, creator of the clothing brand LEAH KIRSCH. This powerhouse shares experience building a brand that empowers women and reminds us all of a really important lesson when we’re on a mission: slow down. 1. When you were a child, what made you the happiest? Arts & crafts. And clothes. I remember always getting so excited when my mom and I would go to Michaels or JoAnne’s Fabrics. Anything I could...
"I never post personal things on Instagram, but this is something close to my heart that I think could be important to share. I have struggled with my self-worth for as long as I can remember. I'll admit, I have wanted a Prince Charming since I laid eyes on Aladdin... and I've looked for him. I searched, scoured, and quested for a man to make me feel complete and beautiful and loved and cared for. I latched on to several unwilling and/or unworthy males, tried to push and pull them into the shape I wanted and needed like they were...

March 20th is many things: among them, the first day of Spring, and also the International Day of Happiness. It’s no surprise that these two days coincide: happiness is all about being in bloom, growth, a hopeful future after a cold winter. First, some history behind the International Day of Happiness. Founded in 2013, this campaign is a global celebration to increase awareness of happiness as a "fundamental human goal." It is coordinated by Action for Happiness, a non-profit movement of people from 160 countries. We're so excited to join in on the celebration and share our passion for happiness with our tribe. At Fred...
"I am a 60-year-old woman and I have lost interest in sex with my husband. In the last five years his actions have resulted in us losing our house. I just can't get past it." Dear I've lost interest in sex with my husband, I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your home. I can only imagine all the feelings of sadness, anger and frustration you must be feeling and it would only be natural for you to feel disconnected from your husband if he is the reason you lost your home. Wanting physical intimacy and feeling sexual...
Hey, Fred and Far Tribe! We’re wishing a very happy Pi Day. For those of you very confused as to why 3/14 is affectionately called “Pi Day,” it’s a day to celebrate the mathematical constant pi (π), approximately 3.14. While we definitely encourage you to eat copious amounts of your favorite (our is cherry, followed closely by apple), we also want you to invite you to fill out our #SelfLovePieChart. Our mission at Fred and Far is for women worldwide to make a pinky promise to choose, honor and remember themselves on a daily basis, and a huge part of...
"This journey of self love has gone up and down. I’m reaching a place where things are falling into place and I want to thank you for making this movement. It motivated me to purchase my ring all that while ago. I know self love is an ongoing journey but every day get easier ❤️"

It’s National Jewel Day, which means today is the perfect day to gift yourself or someone you love a piece of jewelry (hint: the Self Love Pinky Ring is a good choice). It’s also a great moment for us to share a bit more about our jewelry-making process, so you can learn more about why every element of the Fred and Far Self Love Pinky Ring is pure magic. When I set out to create the very first Self Love Pinky Ring, I had no jewelry-making experience, but rather was driven by a lifelong passion and respect for jewelry and...
We've got one week left of our International Women's Day Giveaway in collaboration with LEAH KIRSCH and hurry.to.kind. To make this giveaway (which already has $350 in woman-powered goodies) extra impactful, we're so proud to announce we're including signed copy of "A Girl's Guide to Joining the Resistance," by tribe member Emma Gray, a senior reporter focusing on Women's Issues at HuffPost. What we love about Emma is that when she's not writing about the Resistance, she's co-hosting her Bachelor recap podcast, Here to Make Friends. She embraces and empowers all parts of being a woman, and needless to say, we are...
Each week, our Friday Feature celebrates powerful women from our tribe who share their magic with the world in unique and inspiring ways. This week, we chatted with Kylee Jo Cook, creator of the do-good brand hurry.to.be.kind. This sales rep turned social entrepreneur shares her experience building her brand and gets real about overcoming roadblocks. When you were a child, what made you the happiest? Growing up in Montana, I lived near a barn that was the home to a few horses and a donkey. Whenever I was feeling down, I’d jump on my dad’s four-wheeler and drive down the...
"In 2014 my life had changed forever - my (ex) husband had left me for someone else just shy of our 10 year anniversary of being together. When he left I was stuck with a house, no job and no family to help. I was a stay at home with two little daughters who needed me. The problem was I didn’t know who I was. Fast forward to 3 years later - I bought a new house, have an amazing career (after many minimum wage jobs) and know who I am. I was always defined as a wife and mother. I worked very hard to get to where...
